Okay, so basically, my PC was on and I (being the idiot I am) wanted to remove a metal panel above the back side of the GPU (the thing you pop out when you put in a GPU, a PCI express card etc) without turning the PC off first. What happened is that the metal panel thingy touched the top of my GPU (which doesn't have any protection - it's a Zotac GTX 1050 ti OC edition) while it was running. Nothing happened, I felt nothing and nothing changed on the screen, the GPU fans kept spinning etc. The GPU is working fine. I wanna know if it's possible I damaged something in any way, I'm especially afraid of some damage that doesn't show up now, but might show up later down the road.

Thanks!
 
Solution
Nope you are on safe side as its working properly and you cant damage it by just touching it but there is a risk of electric shock transfer beween the components thats too rare
if its working then its all good
